Best Runner's Magazine |
| What can I say that has not been said? RW is THE magazine for us |
| Runner's World - Rodale, Inc. |

Dominant in its field...because it is fantastic. |
If you run--and who doesn't--you must read this magazine. I've run since 86 consistently and have always read Runner's World. Over the years there has been a gradual shift from coverage of track and field to more information for every day runners. I love the changes.
If I could offer a suggestion it would be for RW to do more reporting on everyday runners and their training. Each and every one of "us" is an athlete and we can all benefit from learning about how each of us manages our training and how it has benefited our lives.
I loved the RW reports on President Bush, Will Ferrell, and Garth Brooks. I would enjoy getting more information on celebrity runners, but perhaps sending a journalist to train with the individual for a month or so to see their technique, cross-training habits and nutrition plan would be more informative.
In 04 (or 03), RW went to a higher quality paper and using better photos. I love the changes and the magazine.

Quality has faded in recent years |
| As other reviewers have noted the quality and depth of the articles in this magazine have faded over the years. Everything has been scaled back except advertising and large pretty pictures. The racing coverage is almost non-existant now. The good feature articles are now brief one-line and two-line snippets. Also, the issues are very much the same month after month. I was very disappointed with the redesign a few years ago. It seems they took a lot of the good editorial away in favor of a fast-food type, quick-read, one-size-fits-all approach. Experienced runners will not get much out of this magazine. New runners will enjoy it for a year or two and that's about it. |
